User:Vif12vf

Hi, I'm Vif12vf, but you may call me Tiberius. I'm a Norwegian student and historian who likes to study history, philosophy, politics, human rights and social sciences, currently I am studying political sciences at the University of South-Eastern Norway. I'm from the former municipality of Hurum, which merged with the municipalities of Røyken and my place of birth, Asker in 2020. Since September 2020 i live in the city of Drammen. My contributions includes changes in basic grammar, adding of ideologies and other information to party-infoboxes and expanding pages whom are lacking in information. I am a member of the Red Party in Norway, and a former international member of Sinn Fein. I am primarily of Norwegian and Swedish descent but with a fair bit of Italian and some German descent as well.

Personal Opinions
As several things on my Wikipedia userpage might suggest, I identify as a Communist. However this is a very vague description, thus i have decided to explain more into detail my personal positions in politics. As with most communists I identify as a Marxist–Leninist, however I am a strong supporter of the Socialist policies of Cuba and as such regard myself as a Castroist and Guevarist. While i hold this specific position I do not consider myself sectarian and as such is not hostile towards most types of Marxist and Marxist-leninist ideologies (with certain exceptions). I am also a strong supporter of Eco-socialism and Socialist feminism worldwide.

EU and NATO
On the subject of the EU and the EEA i consider myself to be a Eurosceptic. I am against the idea of Norway joining the European Union, however i also think Norway should leave the European Economic Area. Not only do i not think Norway should be in these organizations, i am opposed to their very existence. I also think Norway should leave NATO in order to not make Norway complicit in American imperialism, and i believe it would be better for humanity if NATO was dismantled.

Norwegian Action
Norwegian Action (Norwegian: Norsk Aksjon) is a non-registered political organization in Norway open to independent socialists and communists as well as members of the Red Party, Socialist Left and the Communist Party of Norway. It is a membership-by-affiliation organization and therefore does not have membership-fees. The organization exists to create broader unity between its three affiliated parties, as well as to spread knowledge about socialism and certain topics that are discussed within Norwegian politics. Norwegian Action has several goals that are listed below:

1: Spreading knowledge about Socialism and Marxism.

2: Working for cooperation between its three affiliated parties.

3: Spreading environmental awareness.

4: Working for the disestablishment of Norwegian monarchy and the creation of either a Semi-presidential Constitutional republic or a Socialist state.

5: Making Norway economically self-sufficient.

6: Opposing imperialist wars by the US and its allies.

7: Working to get Norway out of the European Economic Area.

8: Making Norway leave NATO in order to not make Norway complicit in imperialist wars.

9: Banning fascist organizations and gatherings of fascists.

10: Actively supporting the rights of women and the LGBT community.
